Thanks for reporting this. This comes from the following change by Claudio Fontana which was installed yesterday into gnulib: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2006-03/msg00033.html combined with the fact that Bison does not have an intl/ subdirectory and doesn't use AM_CPPFLAGS. I'd rather not complicate all the Bison builds with an unused -I../intl flag, so I installed this workaround to the Bison bootstrap script, but I hope there's a better way in general. Perhaps we need to distinguish the 'gettext' module from the 'gettext-intl' module? 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * bootstrap: Comment out the AM_CPPFLAGS line, since we don't use that variable and the line breaks the bootstrap.
